In a jam, pickled, frozen, well preserved and other culinary triumphs

@Smc  I have never heard of "feijoa". Can you tell me what it is

[Smc]

Sort of a cool climate guava @greenpea. In the same general family as guavas, but a more cold tolerant species. They've got a nice tangy flavour, make excellent jam and jelly, also good for eating fresh. The skin is tangier than the flesh, some people like it, some don't.

@Shaz51 

1.5kg pumpkin, cubed

2 oranges - juice and zest

1kg sugar

1tspn each ginger, nutmeg & cinnamon

I plan to use the stick blender to make it smoother before it comes to setting point and then let it finish cooking.

@Shaz51 @Appleblossom 

very pleased with the colour and consistency of the pumpkin jam

not sure if I like it... it does taste just like pumpkin pie... but like most jam, I find it a bit cloying.

It will probably be nice on a crusty loaf with butter as opposed to tasting it on a spoon.

Looks great.

Well done @SJT63 , how much did you make
